Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Vital Index in Development

As the result of an extended study of physical growth and school progress, based on consecutive measurements at yearly and half yearly periods Baldwin comes to the conclusion that If pedagogical age be accepted as a fair equivalent to mental development, the tall heavy boys and girls with good lung capacity are Older physiologically and are further along in their stages Of growth toward mental maturity as evidenced by school progress than are the short, light boys and girls.

On the other hand Wiazemsky (27a) concluded from a study of factors that influence growth that the less endowed surpass the more intelligent in their physical development. This is true especially for the beginning and the end of the period studied by him, that is, from ten to twenty years. The recent study Of Arnold on Weight and School Progress brings out again the fact that the heavier children Of a given age are to be found in the more advanced grades. His results are confirmed by the results of Hogue, whose tables are reprinted by him.
